ARTIST STATEMENT:

“I’m not sure if I’m an artist so I’m not sure if this is an art show. The work of a graphic designer and painting trying to navigate the art world without an MFA & inability to art speak.”

around with chairs around our neck” – dick Gregory

What if: you got to the pearly gates and God show up in the image of the person you hate most… I think
